Description
This handcrafted noughts and crosses set brings a playful edge to a coffee table or games shelf. The square tray measures 24.7cm x 24.7cm x 7cm and holds nine compartments, each cradling a game piece. The four naughts are rounded balls finished in off-white bone, while the five crosses are cut from black horn, giving a clear two-tone contrast for easy play. Every piece shows the subtle natural texture of its material, so no two are quite alike. At around 1.38kg, it has enough weight to sit steadily wherever you place it.
We like this piece for spaces where decoration and function overlap. It works as a ready-to-play feature in a snug, a study or a family sitting room, and it holds its own as a decorative object between games. The black and white palette suits monochrome schemes and pairs neatly with marble, dark wood or brass accents. Set it on a stack of books, a console or a games table, and it doubles as a talking point for guests. It also makes a considered gift for anyone who enjoys a quick round of noughts and crosses.
The tray is built with a bone inlay exterior applied by hand, giving a lightly textured surface with a glossy inlay finish. The playing pieces combine off-white bone balls and black horn crosses, both natural materials sourced and made in India. Because these are hand-finished, small variations in tone, grain and shape are part of the character. To care for it, wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth and dry straight away. Keep it away from prolonged direct sunlight, damp and heat, and avoid harsh cleaning products, which can dull the finish.
